How to Instructions:

Look though the photos on the CondorWatch site to find your favorites for the listed categories below. You may enter 3 photos per category.

When you find the photos you want to enter, copy and paste the IMAGE NUMBER of the photo, found in the upper left corner of each photo) next to the category, next to the category:

An example, then, of an entry for Best action Photo might look like:

3} Best action Photo:

Image ACW00045qp
Image ACW0003rgr
Image  ACW00051jk

The Image number we ask you to enter comes from the entire URL of the Zooniverse page that the image is on. For example http://talk.condorwatch.org/#/subjects/ACW00045qp would be the first entry’s page.

When you’re done with your list of entries send your completed list, via the Zoo Talk message system, to CondorWatch Moderator wreness

You can find the best photos of the site in the CondorWatch Citizen Scientist’s Collections, since they have been saving all the great photos the last 8 months CondorWatch has been on Zoo! Click on a person’s name to go to their Profile Page and at the very bottom are their Collections. Names can be found on the message board posts and photo comments and also be found using the Search feature. The Image numbers can be seen in the bottom right corner each Collection thumbnail photo but they can be clicked to open up to full size but you can look through the whole Collection by magnifying your page and noting the Image Numbers this way.

On the upper right side of the Collection page is a scroll bar to forward though the pages. You can also use the SEARCH feature at the top of the page to look for specific animals. This will only work once (the search feature doesn’t work too well right now) so to use multiple times, Refresh the entire page then re-enter your search word to use again.
